Which scientists...? If you could point me to the links that back this statement up, (along with their results) perhaps my mind would change. However, I try to avoid wives tales and folklore when it comes to growing my meds.

I'd prefer not having to delay or accelerate my grow patterns to suit the moon, as sound technique trumps voodoo and supposition.

And isn't there some magical month when the moon suits planting cannabis better than during the other 11 months? Are there any incantations we shoud be reciting during the planting, to assure potency, disease resistance and mega-growth...? Should we face mecca...? Do we adjust for longitude and latitude of our garden, or for where the strains originated, under a pyramid pointed north?

It's kinda funny...you show a desire to recieve respect for from others for posting this, yet you seem to have little respect for dissenting opinions. Since it's you saying the technique you use is sound, it is incumbant uopn you to provide the proof. As I can not find anything scientific supporting your claims, my opinion remains unchanged.

Don't like my opinion? Then prove me wrong, and show scientific proof. (others are of course welcome to help you find this info...)

p.s. nobody has told you that you shouldn't post. If you are a bit touchy, I apologize for challenging this 'technique', but this, of course, won't keep me from poking fun at the folklore. :jointsmile:
